Light from the Dark

In this self portrait artist  Bianca Batle Nguema intimately observes each woma's body as unique, and paints them in what she views as theor most natural state, naked. She strives to retain the character and tenderness of each of her muses and the stories that their bodies tell, even when they are silent. Batlle Nguema is a prolific painter and mixed media artist with a gift for capturing the human form and its expression in her portraits and figurative paintings. The artist's work is closely informed by her Black and African maternal roots and cultural identity.
